Melbourne's Age Low was delighted to land this flathead late last week at the Bemm River. (PS)

There have been some nice reports of fish being landed throughout the region over the Christmas/New Year holiday period.

Marlo – Bream, luderick, and flathead are biting, mullet are also showing interest in pilchard and pippies. Salmon, tailor, and gummy shark are active off the beach, responding well to metal lures.

Bemm River – The entrance is closed at the time of publication. Flathead continue to be active in the lake and channel, with soft plastics, hard bodies, and local prawns working well. Bream are a bit on the slow side, but some good size species if you can hook them. Surf beach for salmon and tailor taking pilchards and surf poppers.

Tamboon Inlet – There are good numbers of bream and flathead in the system to be had.

Mallacoota – Dusky flathead are still in the inlet, taking lures, soft plastics, pilchards, squid and pippies.

Age Low also managed to tap into a school of bream at the Bemm River, including this ripper. (PS)
Stephen Roberts braved the heat and was delighted to be rewarded with some nice size bream at Bemm River over the weekend. (PS)
Anthony Troup from Sale was pleased to land some nice sized gummies off Mallacoota. (PS)
